I keep comming up with (5) if all things were even...

How about we say 5/40


You have to ask yourself, what if I had to put the $ on the other side?

It's a starting point at least!

Just so everyone's on the same page, it's Innocent vs BB for the 4 match aggregate with BB getting a +5 handicap for each 40 rounds, or a total of 20 for the 4 match set?.....

Rgr that John, at least that is what I am throwing out there as a starting point...

What's your thoughts - BB = 24/40 ave? We also have to keep in mind - Ave vs State match scores, not everyone is like Kolby and shoot higher scores in big matches... I would think 24 would be accurate... and I would put $ on Mary shooting at least 29.... so there we have it... 5/40

Any differing opinions?

John,

You shoot w/ BB - thoughts?

That's as about a fair of an assessment that I I could imagine...would mention that BB will be shooting with a spotter he's not totally familiar with (I'm only spotting for Kolby this year) so there could be a little adjusting early on, but so is Mary (El Puma is spotting for her, not Coates....so that factor is a push....should be a fair handicap...And a lot of fun to watch..

BB, lets ask the question in a different way. What is your lowest current class? Mine being AAA in standard rifle. Lets take the point seperation between the highest score for your lower class and the lowest point on my lower class and give that difference to every 40 shots.

:shock:

It takes awhile to catch up with y'all after escaping the ivory towers. Gotta quit working!

Personal high scores are 27 & 28, both shot this summer, for one AAA leg in each class. Right now I'm AA in Hunter and Standard actually hoping to break into AAA at Benton. And y'all know I'm too naive to sandbag...

the ivory towers
No wonder you are Democrat...I at least can disappear into the lab and blow things up, tends to discourage some of the heavy hitters and they avoid that area. You spend too much time around them man, you start thinking like them.

2 points/40?

My time is spent with computers, books and students, Mary, and political discussion is irrelevant to the mission, likewise for social theory. Some kidding, but almost no real discussion. It's academic because there is a lot of pressure for objectivity, but without preconception.

Your average score of 29 still beats my personal best of 28, and my average is probably in the 23.5 range so Kitty is pretty close to right with 5/40. No question that you're the better shooter, and other stability issues aside, the more consistent shooter.

BB, I've worked for a slimey gun dealer too long to let things go that easy, got to "negoiate" the handicap points better than that. No wonder you ended up with a 504, hav't learned the tricks of bartering on the value of a firearm.... and apparently you are just a swift with your gambling. Considering there will be four 40 shot matches and the bet is on the aggregate, I'll come up to 2.5/40. Don't forget I'm coming into this one with multiple unknowns (variables).

Mary, I love you, but you are crazy... Heck, by your last offer it's 4/40 MIN...

He has 1 leg into AAA hunter, that means he has shot a 26/40 ONE time in a match.... Personal best scores are 27 and 28, probably 10 points lower than your's...

I have shot with both of you, and no harm intended to anyone's Ego, but even with you spotting him 5/40, it's not exactly a fair fight....
